Chinua Achebe’s “Things FallApart” and a Revaluation of Values
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses Chinua Achebe’s 1958
novel about a village in pre-colonial Nigeria. The concept of
thingsfalling apart in “ThingsFallApart” comes from the
many ways in which the life of the main character, Okonkwo,
changes in ways he is powerless to understand. “Things” are
simply not the way Okonkwo believes they should be and they
certainly are not the way they were in the “good ol’ days.”

Apart”[ send

Ibo society of which Chinua Achebe writes. The writer posits that the
